MOMENTARY
First balance your internal and
external speakers then modify an
old style Rock-Ola RVC head as
shown. Connect it to your new
Syber Sonic according to the dia-
gram with the free telephone
adapter included with the juke-
box.
Once the volume control is con-
nected, set the Volume Bridge
(Quick Find 79) to On. Now
your location has a single switch
volume control and a cancel but-
ton. A Mute Button can be
added if desired.

Operators have told us that
Rock-Ola's SyberSonic Sys-
tem has the easiest to use
auditing routine of all the
brands they operate. How-
ever, we have had several
requests from distributors
and operators for a
"collector's cheat sheet" giv-
ing quick instructions for
reading and clearing the
Syber Sonic's audits. Feel
free to copy and distribute
the following information.
(This information is the only
part that may be copied as
the rest of the magazine is
covered by copyright laws.)
This sheet will cover the ba-
sic accounting routine and
exclusive automatic disc
changing features. More
detailed information is avail-
able in the Syber Sonic Op-
eration and Service Manual.
